-Recent Incidents to think on-

What is the happening to the
foresight of great Indians who introduced Astronomy to the world, who
introduced mathematics to the world, and who introduced science to the world?
Why we are not having foresight which will secure safety of our lives. Why
aren’t we thinking ahead? What is wrong with us, what are the problems we see
in addressing those issues? I would like to present my perspectives about the
incidents which shook my thoughts in the recent times.

First of all the serious things
that disturbed me in the past two months were the series of train and bus
accidents. As we know road accidents are very common in India, daily we see and
hear news about these accidents. It may be because of poor safety managements.
We are number one in the world having biggest constitution in the world, but
definitely we are in the last row having poor road safety guidelines. The other
is fire accidents, I came across quite a few incidents were 100 of lives were
lost. Especially I came across the tragedy took place in Palem (Andhra
Pradesh), were the buss hit the culvert and approximately 40 people lost their
lives. I came across another two instances were the train bogi was on fire, one
is near Ananthapur and other is some were in Northen India. These are the
terrible scenes I came across, because the people who passed their lives were
in deep sleep, mostly these accidents happens during night journey. Soon after
this accidents officials will check that burnt bogi and cannot conclude the reason
why there was a fire. Government cannot take necessary precautions to prevent
such terrible scenes. It was came to know that each train on average has to
spend 35 lakhsof money to fix fire
alarm, it seems to be a big task to them. Is it that really big than the safety
of common man. It is our system our attitude is responsible for the loss of
brilliant people in the accidents. Why are we not taking this serious, what few
of the persons in those accidents were brilliant enough to get a great image to
India? We are not only loosing the lives but also their brilliant thoughts,
which may change the world. It is not good to India to sleep and make the
people die in the deep sleep, time for wake up and make stringent system.

Some governments were spending
money for educational tours for abroad to the ministers with their families.
Ultimately they come back to India with empty thoughts, but with bagful of
gifts which they purchase using government money. This happen lost month in
Karnataka government, were the ministers have been to Australia and Newzeland.
Soon after they reach India, they prepared the education tour report which was
even plagiarised line to line. It was known that UP government was also sent
some ministers for Europe trip, it is obvious that these illiterate politicians
will waste our money for their enjoyment. Instead of government spending so
much money on such fake tours, why can’t they use for fixing fire alarm in
trains or any other useful purpose. The other horrible thing was, refugees of Mujafarnagar communal riots were in chilling
cold, were as the chief ministers has organised some big bash inviting so many
Bollywood celebrities to his village. They have used some charted flights to
get them to their village that means they would have easily spent few crores of
money for this event. It is such shameless acts of these governments who were
spending people’s money for their enjoyment. Such heinous people we are
selecting with our vote power. Is this what India want? We always look for
immediate gifts from the government, the person who gives laptop, TVs and
refrigerators will win elections. They were not spending their money from their
pocket; they are looting us and giving small gifts for us. Common India wake
up, we require employment, we require clean India, and we require healthy
governance.

Besides all this I see some
section of India is changing tremendously, I have not seen much of online
shopping before couple of years, and India is following this trend. Along with
that India has witness the victory of AAP (Aam Admi Party), it is the victory
of change, victory of simplicity and victory of a common man. It is too early
to say that they are new face of Indian politics, but yes they have created a
great turbulence in the political pond in which India is been forced live in. There
were some criticism in the policies they took forward, but yes I feel they are
responsible. If they did any mistake they have guts to come forward and accept
the mistakes. Let us encourage such politics which can change the fate of India
and its foresight. Another change I welcome in the recent time was usage of
None of the above (NOTA) option in the elections. It was known that more than
15 lakh people have used this option in 5 states elections recently held. Although
if we calculate it will be only 1.31% of total votes in 5 states who exercised
this option, but we can see it as change in people perception, and orientation
for the progress.

I know that progress is not easy
to get in, but it is not as long as evolution. Before we turn in to new species
we should make some changes and give beautiful world for the new species. Here
I would like to mention few points, which strike my mind which has to be
addressed as early as possible. Safety guidelines: these safety guidelines
should address all kinds of safety measures both on the road and off the road.
Measures to clean up the garbage generated, I can see municipalities are
collecting garbage but they are not treating them, instead just dumping beside
our campus. Ultimately creating health hazard to the people living nearby
areas, hence every city has to spend some money for waste treatment. Then only
we have a choice to feel the real nature. I know the population of India is
major concern to bring all the changes and awareness, it is huge, but how long
we use this statement to avoid progress, Time to improve our thoughts and fate.

I am PhD graduate in science, interested in writing, these are inspired by real life incidents with certain amount of fiction. I have been inspired by many authors but I like the writings which are practical. This blog is intended to express my feelings and these expression are purely one sided; does not mean to hurt others.
